November, 2009 - CAPITAL 90.5FM TO MOVE
TO 101.7FM: The Australian Communications & Media
Authority (ACMA) announces Capital Community Radio (CCR) as the
successful applicant for allocation of the permanent community licence
on Perth RA1 - 101.7MHz, thus providing CCR with the opportunity to have
full coverage of the Perth metropolitan area. CCR will relinquish
their current Perth RA2 - 90.5MHz licence to take up the new licence,
approx. mid 2010, once procurement, installation and commissioning of
the required technical equipment is completed, and the agreements
necessary for the transmission mast/tower location are finalised.
A red letter day for the volunteers and listeners to Capital 90.5FM.

Seniors of all the Perth metropolitan area can now look forward to "The
Golden Years of Radio" on air on their radios. Live streaming on
the Internet to the world will of course continue.
July, 2009 - LARGE GRANT APPROVED TO CCR BY
THE WA LOTTERIES COMMISSION: LotteryWest WA has
approved a grant of a little over $136,000 to allow Capital 90.5FM to
completely upgrade studio equipment to the latest digital operation, and
providing two "on-air" studios and one "production" studio, in lieu of
the current single "on-air" and single "production" studios.
Technical equipment will also have its own enclosed and secure room.
Building alterations will be required internally and a temporary studio
will need to be created in our same premises away from the current
studio area building and technical works. It is hoped to begin the
works prior to Christmas 2009.
